Army War College Bibliography on PTSD

"Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the Military: A Selected Bibliography" has just been uploaded to the US Army War College website. The bibliography is an update of a 2005 bibliography compiled by the same librarian, Lori Sekala. It includes government sources, along with scholarly journals and periodicals. From the preface:

Over the past several years, the topic of military mental healthcare has received renewed attention, both inside and outside the Armed Forces. This selected bibliography focuses on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its presentation in military personnel. Included are references to books, documents, periodical articles, multimedia, and web sites related to this topic. A separate section concentrates on PTSD in members of the military and its relationship to age, gender, or ethnicity. This is followed by a section focusing on disability claims as the result of PTSD.

Does the bibliography leave anything out? Leave a comment and tell us.

I have seen first hand, the mental attitude and mindset of soldiers coming from certain commands.

Their thought processes have changed by the commands themselves, and the policies they follow.

We must make sure that we are not causing more PTSD on our own soldiers.

My uncle was a war veteran and suffered from this terrible disorder as a result of his time in Viet Nam. He rarely leaves the house and will occasionally just go blank and stare at household objects. You haven't left anything out but this is an incredible resource in understanding my uncle's condition. Thank you.
